J. auteur aut IRD text journalArticle eng text/pdf born digital access Despite intense efforts to maintain a high level of vaccine coverage against human whooping cough, rural senegalese areas are still endemic for Bordetella pertussis. One explanation being the potential existence of animal reservoirs, the objective of this work was to precise the carriage by domestic animals of bacteria belonging to the genus Bordetella in Senegal. Bacteriological samples (swabs and aspirates) were obtained from various domestic animals living in different parts of the country. No B. pertussis nor B. parapertussis were isolated. However, for the first time to our knowledge, B. bronchiseptica was identified from small ruminants located in Africa. The positive animals were two goats and two sheep from Dakar slaughterhouse together with a goat living in a rural compound. The fact that it was identified in goats and sheep underlines the potential zoonotic of that bacterial species in countries where small ruminants are of economical and cultural relevance. specialized Bordetella Pertussis Parapertussis Bronchiseptica zoonosis Senegal SENEGAL 052 6 2 179-182 2006 1530-3667 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010054732 1530-3667 [F B010054732] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010054732 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/depot/2012-02-22/010054732.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2006-08-30 2017-08-23 fdi:010054732 fre
